starting to emerge from those metro stations downtown in central brussels including particularly the shuman station which is near to the european union headquarters in downtown brussels that there have been some kind of explosions on the metro system. people are reporting being led out of stranded trains through tunnels. and emerging through stations and there are pictures of people being treated by paramedics on the sidewalks near those stations. so although it's not been confirmed by the authorities yet, something is clearly under way at the scene of these downtown metro stations as well. this is the kind of coordinated -- potentially coordinated attack i should say that the authorities had feared and had warned about when they arrested the belgium terrorist suspect salah abdeslam the other day and the indications they got from the weapons they seized at the scene of the raid and from intelligence they had that either people that he was known to or other terror cells had been planning to restart something. that was their phrase. that they were planning to carry out some kind of attack. an

however, it may well be that people have moved along the tunnel and come up out of the shuman entrance if you like. these metro stations are extremely close together. so we're not actually sure, in fact, if there was a separate explosion or just at melbeck station. there's definitely something happening there. smoke can be seen emanating from that station. >> now, suzanne, you're based in >> yes. yeah, i live here, covering for the "irish times" newspaper, so i've been here for over three years. >> give us a sense of what the mood has been like since friday, since that high-profile attack of salah abdeslam, a key figure in the paris attacks. were people nervous, or were they relieved to hear about this arrest? what has the mood been like in brussels? >> i think what happened last week when these arrest happened, things had kind of settled down here. there had been a sense that maybe salah abdeslam, this man who was on the run, had maybe fled to syria. things had really calmed down from the height of the security threat back in november. so people were extremely shocked when the first r

people heard and thought that there was an explosion also here at the shuman station. this is the hart of the capital of europe, and it is a strike. it is the first terrorist strike against it. i talked to the spokesman for the firefighters here in brussels here this afternoon, and he said he was there in the rescue. he was in tears telling me how horrible it was. it was the worst thing he has ever seen. it was a war scene to him. he's been a firefight for a long time, and he's seen everything. he's seen nothing like this with bodies and people injured and with blood all over the place and people screaming. >> chris, stand by. i want to bring you back to new york city. the mayor briefing along with the police department on the security situation here. >> the community of nations has to stand together at moments like this, and reject the forces of terror and the appalling violence that they wreak upon innocent people. and we in new york city stand ready to fight against terror in every way. let me say at the outset there is no specific and credible threat against new yo
